Chapter 16 - Escape

I peeked through the door that I opened to see if anybody were at the hallway. Maya said that it will be hard for me to escape from here because it has really high security.

She said that she can't helped me because of the so called King, what so ever will chopped her heads if he knew that she abetting me to escape from here.

Maybe she was right because for this past two weeks none of my way to escape was working.

The first time that I tried to escape was the last week when I was trailing to the kitchen but I saw nobody were there.

So I went to upstairs back but I stopped on my tracks when I looked at the main door then walked towards it.

When I turned the knob it's clicked but before I opened it and went out someone was closing it back.

To my bad luck the person who closed it back was him.

The king!!

So, I ran very fast passed him towards my room and left him dumbfounded.

I'm almost one step closer to escape.

My second attempt was three days ago when I tried to open the main door back but it's locked.

So, I tried the back door.

I knew I'm not going to gave up because I really didn't wanted to marry him.

When I was already at the outside through the back door, I'm doing some victory dance but stopped when I looked around to see all of it were just forest.

And I didn't wanted to get lost then eaten by some wild animal.

So, I goes to the right and saw the gate. I ran towards it very fast until I felt myself collided into a hard wall.

Guessed what, the hard wall isn't a true wall but a chest.

A person's chest.

That was him.

Again!!

Why must he always found me!

I'm trying hard right now for my third attempt.

When there were nobody around the hallway, I went downstairs but stopped on my tracks. I saw a group of ten woman including Emily were in a line and Maya was standing across them while talking.

When I reached the last stairs some of them looked at me and then bowed their head until all of them followed.

Okay, something was wrong.

Was it him behind me.

Please don't.

I closed my eyes and turned around my body then opened my right eye. My eyebrow furrowed when I saw nothing so I opened both of my eyes.

There was no one behind me.

Okay.

That's weird.

I heard giggles from my behind then I turned my heels back and saw Maya was laughing.

"Zahra come here."she said while grinning.

I walked towards her until I stood in front all of them beside Maya. I looked at them to see they were still bowing their heads.

"Why are they bowing?"I whispered against Maya's ear.

She shook her head then chuckled lightly.

"Rise."she told them making them stood at their heights then looked straight to me.

Okay that's creepy.

I gulped and smiled awkwardly at them because their faces were serious liked they wanted to eat me alive except Emily who was winked her eyes at me before looked at her mother.

"Okay I know some of you probably known that King wants to get married. So, I introduce this is our King's future wife, Zahra."she said proudly at them making my eyes widen.

When Maya said that, once again they bowed their heads towards me then straighten their body.

I stared at them because I didn't knew what to do and I just stood there like a mannequin.

"Okay, let's get back to your work."Maya clapped her hand twice making all of them started to separate their ways.

I looked at Maya and arched my eyebrow.

"What was that and who are them?"I asked and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Oh, they are the maids. They always be here once or twice a week to clean this house."she replied and started to walk to the kitchen, continue her works and left me standing here alone.

Wow, he was really wealthy.

He can rented his own maids.

But, Emily was there also.

I looked around and saw Emily was dusting the luxury vase then walked towards her before tapped her shoulder making her squealed.

"Zahra!"she groaned and rubbed her chest.

"Sorry."I grinned making her rolled her eyes.

"What do you want?"she said while put the vase back to the table then glared at me.

"Is it normal that all of you always bowing?"I asked her.

"No."she shook her head making my eyebrow furrowed.

"Then why are you bowing your head to me? It's awkward you know."I said to her making her giggled.

"Well you know you're our future King's wife. So, since you soon to be his wife. You are our soon to be Queen."she said cheerfully.

Queen?

I laughed at the words making her looked at me weirdly.

"Why?"she stared me that still laughing.

"Queen? You said Queen. What is that? I'm not even worth it."I replied and rubbed my eyes that already covered with my tears because of laughing.

"I'm not joking, Zahra."she said making me arched my eyebrow.

Okay, she was serious.

"Seriously?"I asked her then she nodded her head.

Okay, this was real.

I just ignored it because I didn't wanted that nickname.

"Okay, speaking of him. Where is he?"I whispered to her and looked around.

"He? Who?"she said and tapped her chin.

I glared at her,"Him! Your so called King!"I said and pinched her arm.

"Auchh."she laughed and rubbed the place that I pinched.

"Why? Already miss him?"she wiggled her eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest.

Missed him?

"No! Why should I."I glared her making her giggled, "Come on tell me. Do you know where is he?"

"Well he's out at the early morning and maybe he will come home late at night."she said and narrowed her eyes at me as if she was suspicious.

Yes!!

"Why are you asking?"she still stared at me making me gulped.

"Nothing. You know you should go back to your work unless your mother will be mad at you."I grinned and patted her shoulder.

She rolled her eyes,"Yes, Queen."

"Don't called me that. It's weird."I glared her making her giggled.

"Yes, Queen."she said playfully and I just shook my head.

I waved at her and started to make my way towards the kitchen but I stopped on my tracks. Looking around I saw everyone were busy doing their chores and they were focused on their work.

I started walked towards the main door then looking around again to see that they still focused on their works.

Turning the knob, I heard a clicked from it. Yes it's not locked.

I opened the door slowly and slipped out from the door than closed it back slowly. Finally I will escaped.

I started to run very fast towards the gate but I stopped when it was closed.

This gate was huge and tall.

How can I climbed it.

I looked around then I saw small door at the right side of the gate. I tried to open it, my eyes widen when it's opened.

Yeah. Alhamdulillah.

I walked out and closed back the gate then turned around as I collided a wall.

I rubbed my forehead then looked at it. My eyes widen when I saw it wasn't a wall but a chest.

Again!!

Looking up, I saw familiar a face making me gasped and took a step back.

"What are you doing here, Zahra?"he asked making me gulped.

I guessed this guy was the man that always with him and I called him as Mr Hulk because I didn't remembered his name.

"Why do you want to know?"I replied and glared him.

When I tried to walk past him, he blocked my way. I tried to the other side, he blocked again.

What's wrong with him?

"What do you want, Mr Hulk!"I glared at him and tried to walk on his right side again but he followed my steps.

"Once again you called me that, I'm going to kill you. I have a name, it's  Jack!"he said and crossed his arm.

"What ever."I walked past him and he let me making me smirked.

Finally freedom.

But my smirked faded when I felt a hand grabbed my shoulder.

"Wait! You're not going anywhe--"before he can finished to talk grabbed, I grabbed his wrist then threw him over my shoulder and fell to the ground.

He laid on the ground while groaning and mumbled to himself,"Damien was right she's tough."

I ignored him and walked again but I stopped on my track when I saw a familiar luxury car was coming to our way.

Oh uh.

His car, that black Lamborghini.

I looked around and wanted to run to the left but again a hand grabbed right forearm making me kicked him right on the stomach.

"Oops sorry Mr Hulk."I giggled when he groaned and rubbed his stomach.

I ran to my left very fast with all my might then I heard a yelled on my behind.

"Damien!! she's right there."

He's here.

When I turned to the corner on my right side, a strong arms grabbed my waist then threw me over someone's shoulder.

He was always more faster than me.

"Let go of me!"I yelled.

I heard a husky voice chuckled,"This is the third time you tried to escape me baby doll."

I know!

"Okay, I'm sorry. Just let me down. I've my own two feet to walk."I said and punched his back roughly.

"No! Unless you will run again."he replied making me groaned.

He started to make his way towards his house again with me still on his shoulder liked I was weight nothing.

Seriously, this was embarrassing.

How can I let non-mehram touching me?

"Put me down!"I yelled and continued to punch his back but it was just a waste of time because it's not even effected him.

I looked up and saw we were already in front of the main door as Mr Hulk opened the door for us.

When he stepped in, I heard some gasped and I knew it must be from all of them. I clenched my teeth and looked up to see they were watching at us and me that still struggling to escape.

So, I smiled awkwardly at them and mouthed to Maya and Emily.

'Help me'

They looked at me then to him. Before Maya could talked, he turned around the corner making my eyebrow furrowed with Mr Hulk trailed on his other side.

Where were we going?

Then he stepped into an elevator.

He has an elevator in his house?

Seriously.

I didn't even realised it.

"I said put me down!"I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"Ouchh, woman!" Mr Hulk's hissing when my pitched high voice sounded against his ears.

"Stop moving unless I will touch this pretty little butt of yours."the sound called King said as he squeezed the back of thighs making me squealed and stopped moving.

Perverted.

I'm going to kill him.

"You know Damien you're right she's feisty."Mr Hulk said to him making me glared him with the corner of my eyes.

His chuckled making me shivered then we walked out from the elevator after we heard the 'ting' and walked towards my room.

My room!

I saw Maya and Emily were standing in front of my room, when they saw us they bowed their head towards him.

Maya opened my room's door after straighten their body and all of us entering my room.

He walked towards my bed and put me gently on my bed as if I was a baby. I glared at him making him arched his eyebrow as I shuffled away from him towards the headboard.

He shook his head and turned his body around towards Maya and the others while I glared his back.

They're discussed something but I can't heard it because they're whispering to each other.

Seriously I'm still right here.

I saw Maya and Emily nodded to him and Mr Hulk playing with his hand phone.

After that, I saw all of them walked towards the door after Emily mouthed me a 'sorry' and walked out from this room leaving me alone.

Wait! what was that?

When the door closed back, I heard some clicked behind the door as if it was locked from the outside.

It can't be.

I ran towards the door and turned the knob and I was right. They locked this door.

"Open the door! Maya? Emily?"I yelled, still trying to open it as I punched the door.

After a few minutes trying to open and yelling, I didn't heard any answer then I stopped and leaned against door.

Now I can't went out.

🔥🔥🔥

One week already past, I've been locked in this room. Maya and Emily always came up here to bring foods for me.

Then they will left me alone in this room again.

I sighed and leaned my back against the headboard. I can't fell asleep  because I'm worried it's only one months left before I'm getting that forced marriage.

What should I do?

Groaning, I glanced at the watch on the nightstand and it's already 02:00 a.m. I can't escaped through the door but think more hard on how to escape.

Looking around, my eyes stared at the curtains that closed the balcony. I smirked because I knew where exactly I should ran for my fourth attempts.

My legs walked towards the closet to grab a hijab to cover my head, a hoodie and a shoes then wore it.

I opened the curtains then turned the knob of the balcony door in hope that it didn't locked.

To my lucky it opened.

When I slide the door, the cold air brushed against body making me shivered. I looked down over the balcony and it's really high. Well I'm at the second floor.

How can I jumped through this?

I'm going to be dead.

I turned back to the room to search something I can used. So, I grabbed the blanket and tie it tightly on the other blanket that I found in the closet to make it long.

Putting down it first,  I grabbed a table in the corner of the room then pushed it against the door of the room for preventing them from entering this room.

I grabbed the blanket back then tied it on the railing and pulled it a few times to make sure it was tight and strong enough.

Throwing the rest of blanket to the ground, I looked around for making sure that there was nobody on the ground.

Bismillah.

I threw my right left then right over it then started to make my way down as I gripped the blanket on both of my hands tightly. I went down slowly as my hands started to ache but I held myself.

Just a little more, Zahra.

After a few minutes struggling ,I jumped softly and landed on the ground safely.

Finally.

I'm going to run and escape from here.
